This was a really nice and pensive little piece and made its way into my list of personal recommendations for at least one friend to try later. I don't have a lot else to say, but thank you for making it!

Developer

That is very kind of you :') β™‘ Thank you very much for playing!!

Atmospheric, melancholy, and tender--I loved this from start to finish. The simplicity of both the storytelling, visuals, and sound design were all incredibly effective, from Thomas' subtle, gentle changes in expression, to the pared-down ui keeping focus on the text. Lovely work; thank you for sharing!

Developer

Such a sweet comment, thank you very much for it and for taking the time to play this little piece. I truly appreciate it  β™‘

A lovely and atmospheric game! I enjoyed that the only sound was the waves. It helped with the immersion so much! The game felt like reading a good book in front of a fireplace!

It was very sweet, and the art style is so pretty. It perfectly fits the whole game. I especially liked the subtitles. They were very pleasant to read.

Developer

Aww, this is such a sweet comparison, thank you! β™‘  When I listened to the sound of the waves, I just felt like that was enough for the story, hehe. I'm happy you liked it too!

Such a clever way of using movie-style subtitles for character dialogue! I quite enjoyed the style and overall aesthetics of the game. Shame it isn’t longer (which is to say I look forward to when/if you release any other games in the future).

Developer

that was really nice and as short/long as it needed to be

the peaceful vibes, the emotion not intense, more subdued and grounded, it was great

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this little game πŸ˜Š

Just a proper chat with a proper bloke by the sea. Could definitely imagine him having enjoyed plenty of cold beverages of some sort. I think the aesthetic chosen here was a clever way to get something really good looking within the time constraints of the competition and you pulled it off well.

Developer

Ahaha, thank you very much! :D
